  • This is a music video tribute I've made for arguably the most complex and tragic figure in cinema, Michael Corleone of the Godfather Saga, as played by the brilliant Al Pacino. This video serves as a character study/essay that follows Michael's descent into evil and his last attempts at redemption. Set to "Monster" by Imagine Dragons. Enjoy!

    The irony about Michael is that he became a gangster to protect his family but because of it he lost them.

      He didn't lose his soul.
      He turned himself into a savage animal to protect Kay so what happened in Sicily wouldn't happen to a woman he actually loved. Especially after his father gave him advice " Women and children can be careless men can not "
      He became serious, vigilant emotionally stable. That is how you behave when you run a family in the underground with serious intentions to keep them alive.

    Michael is on Shakespearean levels of complexity. It's really tragic to see him go from a good person to an ice cold mob boss. In Part 1 he still feels like a dark hero - he kills people who really had it coming. But killing his own brother was crossing the line - it haunts him even decades later. Part 3 had it problems but Michael's breakdown in the confession scene gets me every time. I just wish we could've had what they originally planned, Tom Hagen as his final rival. It would have been the ultimate tragedy to see them come to that. They'd probably both end up dead. (Did anyone ever write this as a fic?)

      CaiusCassiusLonginus excuse me killing his own brother blah blah blah. The brother that betrayed him and the entire family that broke his heart and he said so. You do not understand the commitment of the character or the level of commitment he likewise expects of others especially his family. You are not worthy of this masterpiece of cinema just saying.

    michael corleone best movie charather ever, and this song explains perfectly, how he went from been an ordinary person to a real monster, he might be in anti-hero cause he only did harm to who was in his way, but still he did what all the other don's didn't do, thats take everyone out, in part 3 is more like connie turn into a monster and mike chilled out, as a matter of fact when they took out joey sasa he was against it, if it would of been in the first 2 movies he would of ordered those hits, but from halfway in part 1 and all part 2 he was a monster.

    Ever since I could remember,
    Everything inside of me,
    Just wanted to fit in (Oh oh oh oh)
    I was never one for pretenders,
    Everything I tried to be,
    Just wouldn't settle in (Oh oh oh oh)
    If I told you what I was,
    Would you turn your back on me?
    And if I seem dangerous,
    Would you be scared?
    I get the feeling just because,
    Everything I touch isn't dark enough
    If this problem lies in me
    I'm only a man with a chamber who's got me,
    I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
    A monster, a monster,
    I've turned into a monster,
    A monster, a monster,
    And it keeps getting stronger.
    Can I clear my conscience,
    If I'm different from the rest,
    Do I have to run and hide? (Oh oh oh oh)
    I never said that I want this,
    This burden came to me,
    And it's…

    (My all friends, especially all Christians, and even all humanity everywhere, I will live for you). I am here as a warrior and like a saint for all nations and humanity everywhere. And thanks to God(Allah Almighty) also blessed in many ways. I also remained as Alexander the Great last 1. This is not my fault people called me God, Jesus, and even many other things like this. I never mentioned anything like this.
    But non-believers, my opponents, and others from the wrong religions if they have issues with my title (warrior and saint) then take me as this character below(Godfather). But my family is 8 billion people(humans), not any other. Because of me, all lives lost in Kashmir, Ukraine, or other parts of the world are nothing more important than the failure of humans in their life after death.
    Further, my work and influence will continue. There is no nation where I have to respond for anything. But I never killed the right people.
